Representation Summary:

Paragraph 4.14 explains that where 'part' of an affordable housing unit will be required to meet draft Policy DHG1, this should be in the form of "an in-lieu contribution equivalent to the cost of providing that part of the unit on-site" and an example of the method of calculation is given. In order to be both effective and justified, the paragraph should be expanded to explain:

i) How the in-lieu contribution would be arrived at as a financial calculation;

ii) What mechanism the Council has in place (or will put in place) to safeguard and ring-fence such affordable funding contributions and

iii) Where, how and when such affordable housing will be delivered through such a pool of 'in-lieu' financial contributions.
